  • Innocent Civilian Injured in Attack by So-Called PDF Terrorists in Monywa Township of Sagaing Region

24 June 2025

 In some townships across States and Regions, terrorists motivated by a radical ideology that views “anyone with differing views is an enemy” are conducting violent assaults and assassinations. Their targets are innocent civilians who do not support their terrorist acts. Using firearms and knives, these terrorists are committing brutal assassinations after accusing them of “spies, informants or decoys”. This strategy is intended to instill fear among peaceable civilians and create a pervasive sense of dread within these communities.
 Since they are committing such terrorist acts, on 23 June 2025 at 10:40 AM, a report stated that a man with gunshot wounds was admitted to Mandalay General Hospital in Chanayetharzan Township of Mandalay Region. When security personnel arrived at the hospital for further investigation, the victim was identified as Mg Yin Oo (19 years old), a resident of Shwe Za Lote Ward in Monywa Township of Sagaing Region. It was found that the victim was heading to the Kay Lar Thar Yar Ma Monastery in the ward. When he reached within the monastery compound, a so-called PDF terrorist group, opened fire on him and fled the scene, resulting in his injuries, it is reported.
Security personnel are persistently taking necessary measures to identify and apprehend the terrorists responsible for the aforementioned case, it is reported.
